Good luck you Shannon and more such trips in the future. I am thinking about going volunteering in some country in Americas next, so would be interesting to follow your journey. .-= Vi @ Travel Australia´s last blog ..Free wireless internet in Bangkok airport (BKK) =-.

Everyone has to figure out what volunteering program is for them – and it seems like you have put a lot of thought into this to ensure that it’s the right fit! What a wonderful way to volunteer!

Wonderful to read. One of my goals this year is to help out and do more volunteering in the places I travel. My first mission will be on a farm in Germany.

Now that’s a twist on the average sponsored/press trip! Good luck & good work. It makes such a difference when you do and see these things for yourself. I visited India a few years ago to see charity in action in the village I’d helped set up a charity for and it was such a rewarding trip. http://www.heatheronhertravels.com/friday-photo-my-indian-sponsor-child/
